i see more weenie dweebs in 190/109/pony/tiffy than in la7's.

I don't believe, even for a second, you're serious about those "lala killing machines".

Ofcourse ANY plane can kill a lala, but that's not... you know what I mean.

You may be right in your last sentence though.

you said the typhie was vulching, so you got vulched(most likely)...

maybe the Tif killed your ack and was CAPPIN...

Noob Rule #1

never up a capped or vulched field...

Rule #2

Target fixation, never noob, yet you describe a perfect NOOB mistake with such grace...

chased em to his fully upped field, Dumb in my book, only reason you did that IS because you were in a L-Gay...

its OK to still think like a Noob after playing for a couple years...

You seem to have fallen for what the old Russian GRU could have called "Maskirovka". I'll leave it up to you to figure out what that means, to give you an opportunity to redeem yourself.

I'm trying to be nice now.

anytime you'd like to go the DA so I can show you... just ask (when you see me on that is - after my hiatus from Pirates! is over).

i'm taking a leap of faith and assuming you can at least fly the la7 adequately...

You got that right! The plane with the best roll rate in the game and all they do is dive and run. Of course to take advantage of roll you gotta have some skill.

Hmm, maybe I'll try one tonight. I usually don't fly the ting.

Sadly fuel is not infinite. Some crazy visionaries call it RTB. It is even funnier when these La7 runners score these running only missions as "attack" missions over'n over.

Why run from a D9 in a mustang...or any 190 for that matter?

Sounds to be like you just chose the right tool for the task at hand.

Yeah, just the other day while winging with Storch HiTech zoomed up from below and killed him. I was fortunate enough to be about D600 behind in my La7 and latched onto HiTechs tail and proceeded to take off half his wing. And even though one of his lackies was desperately trying to whack me from behind in his 109G10 he was unable to fend me off and two passes later I took off HiTechs other wing.

An interesting side note, after shooting down HiTech I preceeded to HO said lackie 109 whom proceeded to the deck and successfully ditch while going near 400mph or more... very authentic ditch model there!

The simple fact is that people that fly the el gay fly it so they won't have to fight.

Of course, if they chose to fight they might be surprised, since it is basically a 380 mph otd Spit 9, but nobody does.

"Oh no, I use it to chase down runners!"... get real, you use it to BE a runner.

Lavochkins can be fun ac to fight in........

They do give the best option to disengage if you mess up.........

Some folk panic and run away when they could stay and learn something.........

Some folk never give combat a chance............

Some folk never give combat a chance in lots of ac ......P51's, Typhoons & D9's etc.

Experten find no challenge in the La7 because coupled with their skills there is no challenge agin lesser mortals.

Some experten dont like an La7 escaping when its pilot has obviously been out manouvered.

Statistically the typhy is good against an la7:eek:

Other rides are fun too in different circumstances.

I have to laugh at folk who talk about respect in the context of ride choice............ if folk crave respect then go do more good deeds somewhere...... (like help somebody at some thing)....... dont make out that ac choice in a game has any thing to do with it.

Everyone seems to be ignoreing the 109 family?

G10 with 20mm hub n mg's no gonds is good for chasin la7s, d9s, pony's, and typhs. Or any runner actually.

G6 with 30mm hub cannon is good for buffs and ho'ers. Also good for base defence.

G2 with 200 rounds of 20mm in hub is good for base defence. Does a fair job against inb CV birds too. Turns pretty good with gonds too.

F4 with gonds is great for turn and burn low against incoming CV birds and base defence.

E4 can be fun and a challenge too.

All of em can be good high alt birds against most anything. (many seem to dive out and run from high alt fights )

Granted the slats can throw ya off until you get a "feel" for when they will kick in. But then you can use em to turn and roll better.

You can even use flaps in some cases to stay on that high runnin, turning badguy.

109's are pretty good planes. In some cases they can give la's, 7 or 5, some really good fights.

Best part about 'em is people expect you to do the predictable 109 thing, Boom, Fire, Miss, Zoom, and then either run away or repeat.
Supprises hell out of 'em when you snap her around in a tight flat turn , latch on to their rear end and sink a few 20 or 30 mms into 'em.
Everybody assumes that no one in their right mind would carry underwing gondolas, and therefore the HO they are about to commit to is against a plane armed with a single cannon.......the facefull of 20 mm at 900 yds from three cannon litterally blows them away.

The 109 sux, particularly the G6, do yourself a favour and leave it in the hangar.
